Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There she stands, this lovely creature
There she stands, there she stands
With her hair full of ribbons
And green gloves on her hands
[Verse 2]
So I asked this lovely creature
Yes, I asked. Yes, I asked
Would she walk with me a while
Through this night so fast
[Verse 3]
She took my hand, this lovely creature
"Yes", she said, "Yes", she said
"Yes, I'll walk with you a while"
It was a joyful man she led
[Verse 4]
Over hills, this lovely creature
Over mountains, over ranges
By great pyramids and sphinxs
We met drifters and strangers
[Verse 5]
Oh the sands, my lovely creature
And the mad, moaning winds
At night the deserts writhed
With diabolical things
[Verse 6]
Oh through the night, oh through the night
The wind lashed and it whipped me
When I got home, my creature was no longer with me
[Verse 7]
Somewhere she lies, this lovely creature
Beneath the slow drifting sands
With her hair full of ribbons
And green gloves on her hands
